Connecting the tag reader FTR 100 and putting it into operation

1. Open the menu "Sensors" → "Add" and press "Start" in the web interface of the alarm panel.
2. Start the installation mode of the Tag Reader by pressing the Arm or Disarm button and then promptly setting switch 1(SW1) to ON. The Status LED starts flashing and one long signal is followed by two short signal sounds.
3. Press the Disarm button of the tag reader.
4. The alarm panel indicates the tag reader as "Keypad" (XT1) or "Tag reader."
5. Add the tag reader to the alarm panel.
6. End the installation mode of the tag reader by setting SW1 to OFF again, which is acknowledged with four short signals. Then reinstall the front of the tag reader by tightening the lower screw.

Note:

• The installation mode ends automatically after five minutes. To restart the installation mode, you need to set SW1 to ON again.
• Make sure that the tampering contact of the tag reader is not pressed in during the add process!

Add a tag to the tag reader:

1. Start the installation mode by pressing the Arm or Disarm button and then promptly setting switch 1 (SW1) to ON. The status LED starts flashing and one long signal is followed by two short signal sounds.
2. Press the Arm button once to start the tag learn mode. The status LED lights up for five seconds and one signal sounds.
3. During this time, hold a tag in front of the tag reader. The status LED flashes fast three times and two signals sound, indicating the successful integration of a tag in the tag reader.

Please note:

• Only one signal indicates that this tag was already added.
• If you want to add several tags, hold them one after the other (at intervals of 5 seconds) in front of the tag reader or restart the entire process.
• Exit the installation mode of the tag reader by setting SW1 back to OFF.

Range test:

To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.

1. Open the alarm panel menu "Sensors" → "Range" and press "Start".
2. Switch SW1 to "ON".
3. The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the indicated number the better the reception (1 - 9).
4. Switch SW1 to "OFF".

Please note:

If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.

How to use the tag reader:

After having completed the tag reader installation as described above, you can use the tag reader as follows:

1. Arming/disarming:
   Press the Arm or Disarm button once to activate the tag reader.

2. You have five seconds to hold a tag in front of the tag reader. If the tag is recognized within this time, the alarm panel is armed or disarmed.

Caution:

If there are system errors in the alarm panel when the system is armed, repeat the arming process within 10 seconds, since otherwise the alarm panel remains disarmed! Alternatively, you can activate the menu force “arming with failure” in the web interface of your alarm panel.

Restoring the factory default:

1. Open the housing. Remove the batteries, and then press any button to discharge any residual voltage.
2. Set switch 2 to ON, reinsert the batteries. The tag reader signals the reset (including the deletion of the added tags) with an audio signal followed by two more signals.
3. The status LED starts flashing. Set switch 2 to OFF again and close the housing.
4. Delete the tag reader from the sensor list of the alarm panel.

Please note:

• After a reset, all added tags are also deleted from the tag reader.
- Tags can only be deleted by resetting the tag reader to the factory default. It is impossible to delete individual tags from the configuration of the tag reader.
- You can add an unlimited number of tags to the tag reader.
- You can add a tag to an unlimited number of tag readers.
